Well, Had my 4 week after surgery checkup this week. I will back back walking in about 4 more weeks it looks like. Maybe then I can clean the L good, I am so ashamed of how it looks right now!!I have to have a surgery near the end of Feb, to remove a screw that was put in just to set my ankle. After that I should be ok...

I got to see my plate and screws today with this neat little instant x-ray machince. I have about a 14in plate going up my leg and 11 screws!!! WOW was all I could say!!

 

I'd clean for ya if you lived closer. Of course, I'd have to hi-speed dry it.
None of your screws were loose, were they? LOL

 

Richard,

It's amazing what these doctors can patch back together these days. Thank God for Stainless Steel. Glad you got a good report.

Holy Chit! That's alot of metal! Have fun going through the metal detectors at the airport. I had shoulder surgery in October and had four screws put in there, but that's no where near your hardware.

You'll be back to normal in no time, exept maybe rainy days it'll ache like a son of a bitch.

Yeah they said some about them being Titanium so they may not set of a metal detector. I think they will since there is that many. We will see!!!

 

Yep, mine are Ti also, and they told me the same thing. I don't really beleive them either but, I'll find out on Feb 2nd when I leave on vacation.

 

Glad to hear your ok. Thats right htose doctors can do some wonderfull things. I bet you'll be happy when u get back into the truck.

I have been out for christmas break and lost my T3 connection, so I am a little behind on things. What happened to get all the hardware. My grandma has had 2 knee's, a hip, and some jaw thing all replaced. Good luck in the recovery.

ICULOKN,
If you had anymore metal, we could classify you as a Terminator!

 

ICULOKN, are you sure they are not Iridium? =)

Just messing with ya . . . get well soon.

 

ICU in the ICU!!!
I too had a MC accident(some moron t-boned me)Broke my ankle and lower leg in three places.. Have two plates and 9 screws (three surgeries,one to retighten screws). I also(in a car accident)have a metal rod connecting my knee-cap to my plastic hip-joint,which is bolted to my broken pelvis..... I do not set off metal detectors

 

Dude your screwed .... LOL .

Maybe when they take it out you can take the now 1 off metal and make some new type of plugs out of it.
ICULOKNriduim's.

They will fire the best next to a vette.

In all seriousness, I'm glad you are ok and hope for a speed recover.


I understand exactly how you feel sitting around. WHen I had my knee fixed I set around and let me Brother in Law race my Mustang. we did somethings I really wouldn't ever do without the influence of some killer pain killers. Like running my 88 Saleen with an 10lb paxton VR4 and a 150 shot.

 

I guess you all know I like the Denso's & want to kill this Z06 bad huh??
